Report: Crist Circulating 'Make Out Tape' To Squash Gay Rumors

PoliticsOne.com reports:

How interested is Florida Governor Charlie Crist in being John McCain's VP runningmate? So much so that veteran GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone -- who coordinated a few dirty stunts in support of Crist during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign -- is quietly peddling a so-called "Charlie Crist sex tape." That's what Stone called it during a telephone conversation. And no, it is not a tape of Crist having sex with a guy. In fact, it isn't even X-rated. The video was seemingly staged to kill the rumors that Crist is gay. Stone claims the tape -- which he discussed recently with Politics1, but didn't show to us ("I'm saving it for the national shows") -- "shows Charlie fooling around in a hotel elevator with his girlfriend ... They're making out." Adds Stone: "It was captured on a security camera in the elevator" last month. And Stone just conveniently happens to have a copy of the hotel's elevator surveillance tape, just when Crist's name is in play for the VP spot. Hmm. As for Crist's purported girlfriend -- presuming it is the same one he took as his date to the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC a few weeks ago -- she's still married (and not to Crist). Disclaimer: Always be skeptical of anything from Stone.

Your choice of Republican family values; dating a married woman or closeted gay man working to oppress other gay men.

Bwhaha oh this is getting good! First the Bobby Jindal mess now this. Oh McSame who else are you considering for VP, Warren Jeff?

[MrRavini]

Can you imagine Jindal stumping in West Virginia and Kentucky? Yeah right.

The republicans might be making a turn to the social left. They've done it before and it is winner.

If Obama remians weak on the issue of gay equality, he could be out manuevered.

Hey Charlie kissing a woman doesn't make you not gay, just like all those girls who've kissed girls aren't college aren't necessarily gay.

It sounds as if he doth protest too much. It's okay Charlie, just acknowledge who you really are (after McCain puts you on the ticket) you'll be much happier.

[S1m0n]

Wow. How pathetic do you have to be to even hope that a transparent stunt like this would convince anyone?

[hmmmmmer]

Crist a complete AH. He is the problem with the Florida votes and it is interesting to watch him explain it away with a straight face (Pun Intended).

[sharonh]

Wrong, he inherited that problem. He has been a good gov, except for now. Very disappointed that he is pandering to anti-gay homophobes.

[crl9]

I've yet to see him pander to anti-gay homophobes, could you expand on your statement?

[Donnat]

If there are rumors to that effect, there is probably a tape of him making out with his pool boy... I can't wait until that one surfaces too!

This guy sounds like he represents the majority of men in the GOP; I think he'd be a great running mate for McCain!

Pick Senator Craig "footsie" from Ida-ho ! for vice president McWar

[leftoflennon]

Don't tell me it's another "family values" Republican ?!

lol

As Jon Stewart says : "You cant catch gay.....gay catches you" lol1

If it walks like a duck..quacks like a duck..then it must be a duck.

If the good governor feels he needs to prove his sexuality to the voting public then he has serious issues other than gender choice. I would love to read the meetings of a Crist vetting.

I would love for McCain to chose him and for his outing to take place a week from the election.

[dawlishgal]

LOL....they are CONVENIENTLY making out in an elevator in front of a guy with a camera.???? Why? Because HIS supporters wouldn't support him if they thought there was any chance at all that he might be gay. How sad that he thinks he has to make a preemptive strike like this one....why not just make some friends who wouldn't hold the possibility of being gay against him (whether or not he actually is). Why can't Republicans be themselves? Whoops....I almost forgot. HIstorian-pal says that if Republicans admitted what they are up to, 90% of the country wouldn't vote for them for anything.

[Smirk]

Gross!

[philosopherkingtomas]

republicrites!

[soot]

How Republican.

"No, dude, guys, I'm not gay, seriously. Here, let me prove how pathetic and desperate I am by airing this tape of me having a private moment with my babe in the elevator."
